I have a complex website that has evolved over many years, I now need to add SSL.
I understand how to obtain a certificate, add it and enable SSL support, but I don't understand how SSL works and the implications for my site.
I need help to answer these questions...
Do I need to move the app from httpdocs to httpsdocs. If so,
Do I need to change the DNS settings
Do I need to change the app pool settings
How can I redirect from http:
Will FTP still work
using System.Net.FtpWebRequest
using System.Net.Webclient
using Filezilla
Will my Web Services still work
From other computers
From javascript in client pages
From other aspx pages on the server
Will the Post/Get interface to PayPal IPN (instant payment notification) still work
The site is in use 24/365 so I'm terrified of making changes that cause a long outage. Any advice would be most welcome.
(Windows server 2008, IIS and ASPX)
